From: Leather Journey
by Chris M (Black Rose) and Lady Medora (NOPE)
In fairness, we don't want to suggest that leatherfolk are inherently rude people. The scene, as wonderful as it can be, contains many subtle and seldom discussed "stress factors" that contribute to uncivil behavior. Like water over a stone, these ...

Barely into the New Year and I've got many a plan up my sleeve already. Which surprises even me given the events of the fall.
In September I had major surgery (I was sick when I was at the conference) and have just returned to work now. But I'm still being ...

Curious about other people's connection to humiliation and degradation.
My contribution to the thread is basically as follows:

A friend said: "why don't you post to your LiveJournal?"
Which is a valid question since I'm kinda anti-lurker, ya know?
And I replied: If I could Twitter via phone and have that post to there, you'd see some content."
So then she hooked me into phone Twittering. But she didn't know how ...

I've been screaming about the intersection of race and BDSM for a bit (not as loud as some though!) Even at this past weekend's event I brought it up. No surprise when it came to the response of the participants. One of the presenters, Rope, who is Native American, lobbed ...

LOVE this:

A wonderful video. I stole the link from a friend who posted it to Facebook. Someone commented that they were confused because there was no need for the Vlogger to "act Black". I thought... REALLY?! Did you see the same video as me? GAWD.
Promise I'll write about my time ...

I'm a Canadian. So I can't vote. But I did participate in the Global Electoral College:

This is a historical moment for the world I think. Hopefully I'm not just full of media and pop culture brain washing. I don't think so.
I was born two years after, almost to the day, ...

Well meeting the author of the blog Stuff White People Like was very interesting. Started blogging January 8, 2008 and had a printed book by June 6, 2008. More abut that another time. He did mention that all kinds of lists had sprung up in imitation. So I googled:
